Escape Rooms

“The overall “feel” of the Escape rooms (ie: set up and props) felt authentic and looked professional. It made you feel like you were actually in that section of the museum. I had great feedback from the groups that went into the Escape rooms and they spoke about how much fun they had and how happy they were that this was brought to campus. Overall, we are very pleased with the event turnout and we definitely will be looking at bringing this event back to campus in the future.”

— Saint Lawrence University

Bazooka Ball

“Yes, last-minute we had to change location due to their being confusion with reservations, facilities, and the campus police. It ended up working out though as the change of location ended up being better for Jay and the setup with electricity being right there and not having to be setup. Those who played seemed to thoroughly enjoy the game, and we want to thank you for all of your help and assistance through the booking process. We look forward to continuing working with you throughout the rest of this semester and those to come. “

— Paige, East Stroudsburg University

Piscataway Nation

“I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed their presentation at the Penn State Altoona University campus today. Cody is an amazing dancer. Mark is an amazing storyteller. Together with Jenny and Mark’s son, Niche (not sure how to spell it), it was a great experience, so personal and up close and it really left a feeling of joy and happiness as well as appreciation with me. I hope they continue celebrating, teaching, and sharing their heritage.”

— Dana, Penn State University – Altoona

Will Jay

“Everything was wonderful with Will Jay. He was easy to work with during the event and our students truly loved having him – I have already received requests to bring him to campus when we are allowed to do face to face events again. Here is what one person text me after the event, “I hope you can tell Will Jay how powerful it was, I’m talking to so many people about it and they all loved it and were touched by his songs and words”. There were multiple messages in the chat during the event last night talking about how amazing his lyrics were, his voice, most importantly students were able to relate in to the messages he was talking and singing about. I think Will Jay has a new fan base here at CMU and they are going to consume the music he has out now – and are eagerly anticipating what he has in store.”

— Central Michigan University

Elizabeth Acevedo

“She [Elizabeth Acevedo] was wonderful. It was a perfect fit for the event, the audience loved her! She gave them a space to explore some emotions they may have or need to understand from an outsider’s perspective or just a space to hear what she had to say abut her experiences, observations, etc. One of the students from the club we were collaborating with even said we need to bring her back in the future. She is one performer we will be keeping in our heads for future performances.”

— Emily Umstead, Aquinas College

Derrick Knopsnyder

“The event went great! We had a great turnout of about 70 students and they all seemed to love Derrick’s humor and jokes. He does a great job of using the information he knows about the university to relate with the students in the audience. Not many students answered our post-event survey (it’s almost impossible to get college students to do something without incentive) but those who did answer it said that they would definitely attend this event again! The stuffed animals are a great draw to get students to the event as well. We even had a group of students waiting 30 minutes early.”

— Ryleigh, Clarkson University
